Amos 3:11-13
New International Version - UK

11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

‘An enemy will overrun your land,
    pull down your strongholds
    and plunder your fortresses.’

12 This is what the Lord says:

‘As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth
    only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
    with only the head of a bed
    and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.’[b]

13 ‘Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,’ declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
